Mission of Hope

Church Advancement (CA) Projects & Costs

CA Projects are specific projects that contribute to the physical needs of the village. These projects represent the highest priorities for meeting the physical needs of the village. Furthermore, they are a part of a continuum of transformation plan that has been developed with the local church pastors and Village Champions. Your team will have the opportunity to sponsor and participate in these projects during your week.

Plant A TreeCOST: $15 / TREE

Plant A Tree

Cost: approximately $15/tree. Trees are a huge blessing to the people of Haiti. Some types trees provide shade for families and communities, while other types actually provide fruit for the community once grown! On average, a team of 15 can plant about 60 trees over the course of two work project days.

Solar LightCOST: $60 / Light

Family Sized Solar Light

Cost: $60 / light. Many homes in Haiti do not have electricity at night and when it gets dark, there isn’t much the family can do. Providing these lights gives families the ability to provide security for their homes and also allows kids to study and do their homework at night.

Water FilterCOST: $75 / Filter

Family Sized Water Filter

Cost: $75/filter. Many people do not have access to clean water, and the only option is to pay a lot of money for it. Many families cannot afford this. These filters provide 100+ gallons of water per day for a family for up to 10 years if maintained properly.

Pair of GoatsCOST: $150 / PAIR

Pair of Goats

Cost: $150 for 1 male & 1 female goat. Goats give a much-needed income boost by providing offspring for sale at the market. Goats are practical animals — flourishing in harsh climates while producing valuable manure to fertilize crops and vegetable gardens. Giving a male and a female goat gives them the ability to produce offspring and provide more resources for a family to provide for themselves.

Kids ClubCOST: $220 / CLUB

Kids Club

Cost: $220 / club. A kids club is intentional time spent with kids where your team can put on a skit, tell a Bible story, and just spend time loving on kids! The money goes towards food and drinks that the Village Champions will purchase and distribute to the kids.

Home RestorationCOST: $300 / HOME

Home Restoration

Cost: $300 / home. Painting houses provides a strong sense of pride for a family. Paint is very expensive in Haiti, so many people don’t have the possibility of painting their own house. With your help, you can give a family a sense of pride in their home. Our Village Champions say this is one of the best ways to share the gospel with a family. On average, a team of 15 can paint 1 house per day.

Roof RepairCOST: $700 / AVERAGE HOUSE

Roof Repair

Cost: approximately $700/roof. Roof repairs are big blessings for families. Many families have holes in their roofs, which let water in when it rains. Providing this project blesses that family with a solid roof over their heads. On average, a team of 15 can accomplish two roof repairs on the two work project days.

Church RepairCOST: $700 / Repair

Church Repair

Cost: $700 / repair. Examples of these projects include building benches, building pulpits, repairing doors, replacing sound systems, etc. Being able to bless the local pastors with these projects frees them up to serve their people more freely and focus their attention away from the needs of their own church and towards the needs of their people. Once your team decides to participate in this project, we will find the exact need from a local pastor that your team can help meet.

Build LatrinesCOST: $2,250 / LATRINE

Build Latrines

Cost: $2,250 / latrine. Latrines are one of the biggest needs for improved public health in our area! If a family doesn’t have access to a latrine, they resort to using open fields and yards which can lead to major health problems such as cholera. Working with the local pastors, the Village Champions plan to build latrines in either public places, for churches, or for individual families. Haitian professionals with your team assisting will lead the construction.

Build a HomeCOST: $6,600 / HOME

Build a Home

Cost: $6,600 / home. Many families’ homes were destroyed or damaged during the earthquake in 2010. Some of these families still live in the damaged homes and many people are still living in blue tents. Blessing a family with a concrete home gives them security and peace of mind to be able to thrive.

Farm to TableCOST: VARIES BY GROUP SIZE

Farm To Table

Farm-to-Table is an exciting opportunity to see sustainable agriculture, child nutrition, and agribusiness in action in Haiti. During your trip to Mission of Hope, you will have the opportunity to participate in a three-part tour and serving project:

Meet with Mission of Hope’s lead Agronomist, hear firsthand about the agricultural history and strategy Mission of Hope is using to assist local farmers, and visit a farming community and learn how the program is benefiting local farmers through education and seed investments.

Have an extended tour of the Mission of Hope warehouse and learn about the nutrition program, supply chain, and distribution; after, your team will participate in a two-hour meal packing project of the locally grown crops.

Visit a school or orphanage in the HaitiOne Nutrition Program to understand how the meals are prepared and served. You will see and experience the life change these meals provide for the children of Haiti.

For an example of your impact, 20,000 meals feeds a school for an entire year.
